About Dorothy Daritye Talby
Hung as a witch!
Dorothy had a mental breakdown after the birth of her daughter, Diffculty, and killed the child after claiming to have a vision from God telling her to do so. She was hanged as a witch for her crime.

Many articles have been written about how she was hanged. The general concensus is that Daritye suffered from post partum depression and psychosis which caused her to act out repeatedly over the 3 year period following the birth of her last child, aptly named Difficulty. She was the 3rd woman to be hung as a witch in Salem. Very interesting to read about her and realize she was my 10th great grandmother.
